Boats 

Dimitris Mytaras painted these boats with lively strokes of color, capturing more than just their image, but also their symbolic weight. From antiquity, the ship has carried the weight of human aspiration. Think of the argonauts and their quest for the golden fleece, or the ship of the church as a vessel navigating the seas of earthly existence. Here, the vessels with sails unfurled suggest not only movement, but also the psychological journey, a quest for what lies beyond the horizon. Consider also, the motif of the boat in dreams. Freud might suggest they represent the self embarking on a voyage of self-discovery, reflecting the subconscious desire for exploration, and a potent symbol for the human psyche. The vivid colors and loose brushwork add to this emotional intensity, engaging viewers on a deep, subconscious level. The boat, forever a motif of transition, transformation, and timeless human desire.
